Title: First 1000 miles... Finally!
Post by: No_Normale on August 17, 2009, 09:44:40 AM
Thought I would share-
I was very excited that this weekend I finally reached the first 1000 miles on my 2004 S4R. Purchased it stock about a year ago with less than 300 miles on it. Gave her a service and then went about leisurely learning how to handle her. I mean, it is the Northwest and I am a fair weather rider.

Anyway, not exciting that I reached 1000 miles on I-5 northbound but it was cool that it ticked as I neared the exit to my hometown. I had to take a picture of the occasion! Cheese Ball, I know, but had to share because my parents and siblings don't exactly "get" why I ride. They don't need to, I'm having more fun without them!  [evil]

Congrats.  I just got my 600 mile service this last weekend and was just as excited as you were. I was at 696 miles as of yesterday heheheh. Oh that reminds me I should go take a pic of that just for memories sake.

Awesome! Hope to reach 30k+ some day too!

Yeah great weather, a bit hot in the middle of the day but evening rides should be great... too bad I work until 9! Argh!
Thanks all!

Happy riding to you!   [moto]

30K comes up quick.  The way this bike has treated me so far, I'm certain I will get over 100K out of it.

Congradulations on reaching thousand mile.


Mine just turned 39K today.  I had to pull over and take a pic on cell phone.    ;D
